How do I change jacket colors?

This is gonna sound so silly but I found this decent jacket for a specific outfit in mind but it doesnt come in maroon (one on top left) and i couldnt find one with the color i want, could i like just paint it maroon?

Paint would come off. Usually dye is the way to go. You need a certain type of dye which does polyester and works at high temps. As most clothing nowadays use polyester threads

I'd say "lighter" colours are easier to dye darker. Like grey to red/burgundy

Given you're in Indonesia I think you'd be able to find someone to do it for you / you'd be able to buy the required dye.

Would this be possible to dye into burgundy? Its going for a really cheap price because its second hand, worth the shot to dye or nah?
